Neck & chin liposuction give great results

Having performed more than 100 neck and face liposuctions over the years, I can tell you that liposuction of the neck (submental) greatly enhances appearance and makes the patient look younger and more refined.

Chin lipo can be great

1. Chin liposuction can make someone look younger and healthier as long as it is not done as a substitute for a face lift. 2. If there is loose skin of the neck and chin area then liposuction will make the loose skin looser unless it is combined with a face/neck lift.

Very small incision, improved jaw line

This is a great question. Chin liposuctions (sometime referred to as submental or neck liposuction) is good for patients with a "full neck" who do not have a well-defined jaw line. Chin liposuction can be performed with a very small (0.5 cm) incision under the chin and similar incisions behind the earlobes. Through these small incisions, the entire neck and chin area can be liposuctioned effectively. By removing the excess fat in the neck and chin areas, the jaw line becomes... more

Liposuction to treat a double chin

Chin liposuction, also called neck liposuction or submental liposuction, is a procedure to remove excess fat from the neck, just under/behind the chin. The purpose of the surgery is to give patients a cleaner looking neck and jawline and to treat the "double chin." I usually recommend this procedure in patients who are at their baseline weight, but still have a persistence of fat under the chin. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia (with light... more

Chin and Neck Liposuction

Chin Liposuction can create a more youthful and balanced appearance to the chin, jawline and neck regions. Chin liposuction has low complication rate in experienced hands and patients are generally very pleased with the results. It is important to wear a special garment to contour the shape and contour of the neck and jawline. Hope this is helpful. Dr. Sajjadian

Chin/neck liposuction

Chin and neck liposuction is an excellent alternative to more invasive procedures such as a necklift/platysmaplasty. You will not be able to repair the platysma muscle with liposuction (platysmal banding). You will also not be able to get as much contouring as you could with surgery, but the results can be very impressive. Some plastic surgeons would suggest using an additional energy source such as ultrasound (VASER) or laser (SMART or SLIM) liposuction to tighten the skin even more. ... more

What are the benefits of chin liposuction?

Liposuction of the chin is actually liposuction of the neck and is for someone with excess fat in their neck and under the chin, but not too much extra skin. Some of the skin will tighten with liposuction alone, but your plastic surgeon will assess you see if a neck lift is also necessary. Liposuciton alone is a very simple procedure that takes about 30 minutes and is done though a very small incision under the chin, and if necessary, one in front of each ear. The results can make someone... more

Double chin surgery

The process required to correct a double chin will vary from patient to patient. In a younger person, it might entail merely liposuction.That will remove the bulky fat below the chin and allow the skin to shrink back down. In older individuals that have had a double chin for a long time it might require a combined procedure of liposuction and skin removal, with or without muscle tightening. If the patient is a little older, the ability of the skin to shrink is less and liposuction alone... more

Neck suction / double chin

Liposuction of the neck is one of the most favorable procedures a surgeon can do if considering the cost / benefit ratio. the issue is that you have to chose the right patient which ideally is young with tight skin and good elasticity. Youth and good skin quality allows the skin to re-drape favorably after suctioning under the chin. The more fat under the chin, the less the skin will be able to re-drape nicely. Proper skin re-draping is also a problem in older patients with loose... more

Chin liposuction is a great procedure

It has minimal pain, rapid recovery and produces wonderful results for those fat deposits under the chin. I call it the mother of the bride procedure because so many women seek it because they hate how they photograph. This is a quick procedure, taking less than a half hour under local anesthesia or oral pain medication, it is extremely popular, especially in conjunction with fillers such as Radiesse or Restylane for rejuvenation.

Best results with a direct submental lipectomy, not liposuction.

The problem with liposuction for the neck is that there is no way to tell if the fat is deep, and under the platysma or superficial and on top of the platysma. (even for the most experienced surgeons) If the fat is removed superficially when it is mostly deep, irregularity will result. going deep can be risky without seeing what you are doing. The best results are obtained with open submental lipectomy, ie direct removal of the fat under vision, from the correct place, tightening of... more

Benefits of Chin Liposuction and Double Chin Surgery

There are patients who have a very discrete fat pat that lies right below the chin and into the midline of the neck. It is a very straight forward procedure to use a small liposuction cannula to remove this discrete area of fat. The procedure is done through a very small incision hidden under the chin. The results can be dramatic and very satisfying to patients.

Liosuction of the chin

Some individuals have 'sagging' necks primarily due to fat accumulation below the jawbone (mandible). In some cases, liposuction alone can significantly improve the neck appearance. Liposuction is also frequently combined with surgical neck rejuvenation, and in selected cases some direct excision of fat (through a hidden incision below the chin) is performed. The reduction of fat in the area below the jawline and in the anterior neck almost always makes the neck appear longer, and... more

Chin Liposuction versus a Neck Lift

In evaluating a patient who's interested in improving the appearance of the chin and neck, you have to assess how much of the appearance is due to excess fat, and how much is due to excess skin. In general, the more excess fat (relative to excess skin), the better a result can be anticipated from liposuction. The final results of lipo depend on what the patient looks like beforehand, the surgery that's done and - this is key - the ability of the skin to "shrink"... more

Benefits of Chin Liposuction

Patients call it the chin but really they mean the area below the chin - what we call the anterior neck. This can be an amazing procedure for the right patient. This means someone with good skin tone and localized excess fat. An additional positive feature is an underlying muscular and skeletal anatomy that lends itself to a sharp and well defined angle between the neck and the lower jaw following the removal of the fat. Occasionally in individuals with a 'weak' chin a procedure... more

SmartLipo can be a great treatment for a double chin.

SmartLipo can be a great treatment for a double chin. You need to have a full consultation with a plastic surgeon to make sure that you don't have muscle laxity because liposuction won't help with "musculofascial laxity". Therefore you need to see a doctor that performs both SmartLipo and surgical neck lifts to make sure that you get an opinion based on what procedure is best for you instead of only which procedures the doctor performs. SmartLipo helps... more

Eliminate a double chin with chin Liposuction

Chin Liposuction is for someone who does have a double chin or fatty deposit underneath the chin and in jaw line area, and good skin tone. The best candidates for Chin Liposuction tend to be age 40 and below. As you get older, your skin becomes less elastic and your skin can be so that Chin Liposuction alone won’t work. It is important when you have chin liposuction to go to a qualified plastic surgeon. You really want to go to someone who has a good eye for how the... more

Liposuction of the neck to correct a "double chin"

Liposuction of the chin/neck (submental area) in the right candidate can give very dramatic results. Patients who are good candidates for this have good skin tone, no loose skin and are relative young (<50 years old). The fat in this area needs to be assessed on physical exam to determine if it is the type of fat (superficial) that will respond to liposuction. This area, because it is concave, responds very well to liposuction. Patients have to wear a... more

Chin Liposuction, a safe simple procedure

Liposuction of the chin (neck) is very beneficial in the correct person. If there is isolated fat with good overlying skin tone you are considered a good candidate. Usually this is in someone of a younger age group but with newer techniques today the age group of people who can be candidates has expanded. Your surgeon will be able to tell you by an examination. It is a simple procedure that can give dramatic results.

The results of chin liposuction can be dramatic, but not everyone with a double ching or turkey neck has excess fat. An evaluation as to what procedure is best should be carried out.

Chin liposuction can contour the upper neck area nicely

Neck liposuction (upper neck, just under the chin) removes extra fat from that area, giving a sharper contour to the neck and less fullness. This is an office procedure, done under local anesthesia. Be sure to look for a surgeon Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (NOT a "cosmetic surgeon", as they often aren't plastic surgeons at all!). Now, if you have loose skin with poor elasticity, it may take more than just liposuction to get a good result... more
